Grey's Anatomy Spoilers (Page 27)

Popular guest star Jeffrey Dean Morgan is on his way back to Grey's Anatomy. That much has been confirmed - but when, why, and how?

Is Grey's Anatomy really going to kill Izzie, as has been rumored frequently, with Denny resurfacing to welcome her to the afterlife? Not likely.

For starters, at least one inside source says there are no plans to off Izzie as a means of punishing outspoken cast member Katherine Heigl.

Second, Morgan already filmed his scenes, which are to air in the season premiere, so the timing is wrong for this stunning development.

But ABC Entertainment chief Steve McPherson issued vague denials of a plan to eliminate Izzie, and another insider says that the rumored brain tumor contracted by Dr. Stevens was indeed the plan for Heigl's character in Season Five.

After her diagnosis, Izzie was to see “visions” of Denny.

Of course, if that was (or is) the plan, Shonda Rhimes may change it since the word is out. She’s not a fan of Grey's Anatomy spoilers (with the exception of her giving away the Mer-Der reunion at the end of Season 4 weeks beforehand).

A few seasons back, E! Online reported that Cristina Yang was to have a lesbian storyline. That plan? Scrapped, then revamped (much) later in the form of Callica.

The conclusion is that we're stumped. Morgan's casting confirmation lends credence to the notion that the brain tumor plot could still happen, but the reports we're hearing the subject are conflicting and far from set in stone.

What do you think of Jeffrey Dean Morgan returning to Grey’s Anatomy - and is the brain tumor a good idea? Tell us what you think - and hope.

According to today's Us Weekly, Katherine Heigl's Dr. Izzie Stevens could be killed off Grey's Anatomy next season - a piece of gossip that we've already discussed at length, and the source of which must be considered here.

Heigl, 29, withdrew herself from the Emmy Awards process, saying that she didn’t feel she was “given the material this season” to warrant an award.

In response to this well-publicized griping, the Grey's Anatomy producers are considering giving Izzie Stevens a brain tumor, according to Us Weekly.

“Shonda Rhimes and the writers are pissed,” a source says. “It’s their way of screwing with her. She won’t know whether she’s going to live or die.”

Regardless, there’s some good - and actually confirmed - news for fans: memorable Grey's Anatomy guest star Jeffrey Dean Morgan will reprise his role as Denny Duquette again! As we know, Denny passed away in Season Two, then returned to the show in Season Three during Meredith Grey's temporary visit to the afterlife.

How will be return to the show yet again in Season Five? One popular theory is that Izzie will begin seing visions of Denny after contracting her tumor.

A second source adds that such a plot, ironically, would be great for Katherine Heigl: “If her character does get a tumor, she’ll probably get an Emmy!”

A rep for ABC commented only briefly, saying, “We can confirm that [Jeffrey Dean Morgan] will be back, but we are not releasing any further details.”

All the Callica (Callie and Erica) fans are dying for some gossip on what will become of Grey's Anatomy's lesbian romance in Season Five.

There's the pregnancy rumor which has been addressed quite a bit, but there must be something else, right? Are they officially a couple?

Is Erica too emotionally guarded and stunted for a relationship? And where does the great Mark Sloan fit in when it comes to Callie?

TV Guide's Matt Mitovich doesn't have too much to add in the Grey's Anatomy spoiler department, but he does say this in his new column:

"Oh, the poor Callica fans and their cute little couple name. Well, things are going to be... awkward between the two docs when Grey's Anatomy comes back. And the pregnancy rumor, I hear from one source, is pure hogwash."

Hmm... does that mean there's no pregnant Callie, or no pregnant character at all?

Note the question mark. This is not confirmed.

But there's no mistaking the latest buzz hissing from the set of the ABC hit is that Grey's Anatmy creator Shonda Rhimes may be entertaining the idea of killing off Katherine Heigl's Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens. Why?

Lest we forget, Heigl took herself out of the running for this year's Emmy Awards, declining to even submit her name for consideration because she felt the writers failed to give her enough good material in Season 4.

"It's not good," a source on the Grey's Anatomy set told E! Online. "Shonda is pissed. They're thinking of killing her off. They want Izzie dead."

While a dead Izzie may still not happen, it would be a bit ironic, as Grey's Anatomy insiders have long speculated that Heigl wants off the show.

Going public with her Emmy complaint only increased speculation that she wants out of her contract to focus on her film career, which is red hot.

A rep for Shonda Rhimes said, "I haven't heard anything about that." Reps for both Katherine Heigl and ABC declined to comment on the subject.

What do you think? Is it time for Izzie to check out? And does Katherine Heigl have what it takes to leave Grey's Anatomy behind?

Some interesting Grey's Anatomy spoilers and news courtesy of venerable TV spy Michael Ausiello, now with Entertainment Weekly, in his recent column ...

Q: I’ve got a burning Grey’s Anatomy question leftover from your TV Guide days: Which of those many Season Four finale smooches was the big “major kiss no one would see coming” that Shonda Rhimes alluded to?
A: Well, contrary to popular belief, she was not referring to Mer and Der’s candlelit trailer park pucker. As Shonda Rhimes said, although she feels all of the kisses featured in the episode “were worth leaning into the television for,” the one she felt was the most surprising “was Alex and Izzie. But my personal favorite is Bailey kissing Baby Tuck."

Q: Is Katherine Heigl still employed at Grey’s Anatomy?
A: She showed up to this season’s first table read last week, so it looks like it. Oh, to be a fly on that wall.

Q: Got anything new on Grey’s Anatomy? Please tell me they’ve gotten rid of Rose!
A: Nope, she (i.e. Lauren Stamile) was at the staff table read, too! And as TV Guide reported yesterday, she was doing what she does best: stirring up trouble!

Q: Please make our week by spilling anything you know about the Shonda Rhimes-penned two-hour Grey's Anatomy Season Five premiere.
A: There will be a slight time lapse between the May finale and the new season premiere. We’re talking more than a few days and less than a month.

Q: Any Grey's Anatomy scoop, specifically related to Callie and Erica?
A: There’s a rumor going around that Callie will start off the season pregnant (with a little McSteamy in the oven), but a reliable Grey’s Anatomy insider insists it’s “not true.” What do you think about all of this?

Here's a Grey's Anatomy spoiler from TV Guide that you may not like: Rose may be no shrinking violet when it comes to getting dumped by Derek.

Given the cozy, candle-burning climax of Grey's Anatomy's Season 4 finale, it's no big surprise that Lauren Stamile's run may be nearing its end.

But this oh-so-nice nurse won't be scrubbed out quietly.

Sources reveal that when Rose learns she has been excised from the star surgeon's love life, she plays it cool ... but only with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo).

On the flip side, she is far from laid back about the whole thing with Derek (Patrick Dempsey) the boyfriend she had started to fall in love with.

"I'd count on at least one emotional outburst," said a source on the Grey's Anatomy set. "Rose is not her usual composed self with Derek."

Moreover, while there has been talk that Lauren Stamile will only appear in the two-hour (!) Season 5 opener, there are also rumblings that Rose may remain a thorn (sorry for the pun) in the supercouple's side a bit longer than that.

What do you think? Do you want Rose to wither away for good, or will a little more drama strengthen Grey's Anatomy - and MerDer's relationship?

It's not clear whether this is a full-blown Grey's Anatomy spoiler or only rumor material, but sources, including Michael Ausiello of TV Guide, have hinted that someone who shared big smooch in the finale may be pregnant.

Which Grey's Anatomy character it be, if this were the case? It would have to be Meredith Grey or Callie Torres, we'd think, for obvious reasons.

Considering all the time spent in the on-call room with Mark, Callie would seem to be the most obvious choice - and throwing a surprise pregnancy into the mix with her fledging lesbian romance would certainly create big drama!

On the flip side, might it be possible that Meredith Grey is somehow pregnant with Derek Shepherd's baby? How long have they gone without ... you know? It's unclear, but with production Season Five (!) underway soon, it's fun to discuss.

Season Four ended just one week ago, but speculation has already turned to Season Five (can you believe it) of Grey's Anatomy next fall.

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello has some gossip about the length of next season as well as a big Grey's Anatomy spoiler involving a character who shared in one of last Thursday's major kisses - and may be in for a surprise.
